Description

Exhibit Details: Participation in: California State Fair Exhibits, Newport Beach Nautical Museum surf exhibit, Moonshine festivals; Laguna Beach Surf Culture Exhibit which traveled around the world; fielded a request from Los Angeles County Museum of Art for the loan of a surfboard and historical materials for display; exhibit on the History of Surfing in Orange County at the John Wayne Airport.

Exhibit iItems are more often than not simply donated as a gift, and are tax deductible. If loaning something to SHF, an expected return date is necessary, as well as the loaner expressly waiving any and all rights of action or compensation against SHF or its officers, employees and agents in the event that such items are lost, destroyed, damaged or stolen (other than insurance compensation as is stated in the foundation's insurance policy). But again, we rarely accept loans (unless it is something of great need to us) due to limited space in the museum.

Gift shop/SHF store is located off-site of the museum. Most items can also be purchased online. Our boardroom and showroom are available for rent for a set price.

Artifact Collections

World's most important surfboard collection. Largest collection of Bob Simmons surfboards. Largest collection of wooden boards. Most complete collection of Dale Velzy personal surf related items and memorabilia.

Research Collections

World's most complete archive of printed material and books on the sport of surfing. First complete written history of the surf trunk (bathing suit) and collection of actual trunks exhibited with audio/visuals displays.

Educational Programs

Exhibitions (permanent and rotating from our collection), docent led gallery tours, events, educational outreach.

Our photo editor (Steve Wilkings) has a small digital photo studio set up on-site, and is currently working on digitizing all of our photographs.
